Brainy deduces that Pulsar Stargrave is hiding out in the museum remembering the Computer Tyrants of Colu. He is right of course but Quicksand is there waiting for them. #60YearsofBrainiac5
Brainy fills Garth and Imra in on the story of Brainiac (mostly for the readers) but adds that he was telling the truth about being revived by aliens which is not really of much importance going forward. Then he announces he has a plan. #60YearsofBrainiac5
Brainy realises his imposter is and android. One so sophisticated it could trick even Saturn Girl's telepathy. Lightning Lad gives it a small jolt that short circuits it. I do feel that destroying an android that can fool a telepath is on shakey ethical ground #60YearsofBrainiac5
"--And finally, the most devastating attack of all-- on Brainiac-5's soul! It was this attack which revealed the true identity of Stargrave..."
#60YearsofBrainiac5
The Legion figures out that the attacker is not Brainy because apparently he doesn't need a space helmet? I could go & pull panels of Brainy wearing space helmets but this 1x I am going to let it slide and point out Lightning Lad was miscolored as Brainy 4x #60YearsofBrainiac5
Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes 227 (2/17/1977) starts with the team hunting down a seemingly maniacal Brainiac 5.of course this is incongrous with the end of last issue but if you skipped 226 you might have been fooled 🤷 #60YearsofBrainiac5
The stone reveals to Brainy that the man he thinks is his dead father is in fact the original Brainiac 😱 Brainy immediately abandons his quest & goes to seek out Brainiac & kill him. The team rushes to stop him because they don't want him expelled #60YearsofBrainiac5
@DCsDoctorFate Super-adaptive #Amazo android inhabited by the mega-mind of #Brainiac vs a seven member #JusticeLeague in a movie that some would argue pretty much apes #Avengers: Age of Ultron; but it would be totally different & improve on that narrative.
"For a moment I stood there transfixed by the image of myself twisted by an insane mirror... Then I heard his evil laugh, and somehow, deep wthin me, I new!" ~Brainy #60YearsofBrainiac5
"Whereas I have learned from Val Armorr- Master of all martial arts!" ~Brainy
Brainy faces a series of increasingly complex magical defenses.

We hear Brainy's PoV on Stargrave's revelation he is Brainy's fater transformed and we get the idea that Brainy is not as keen on helping him as we had thought. #60YearsofBrainiac5
After the meeting Stargrave contacts Brainy and we learn Stargrave has a special mission for Querl. Brainy also appears to beleive Stargrave is his long deceased father, a fact a snooping Superboy overhears. #60YearsofBrainiac5
When the team returs to their base Brainy reveals Stargrave's plans an advises the team to help him in his battle. The team is shocked but listen and agree to Brainy's plan. #60YearsofBrainiac5
Pulsar Stargrave weaves a story for Brainy of a scientist much like himself who met a disaster and Brainy reveals he remembers his face and that day! 😱 #60YearsofBrainiac5
Stargrave tosses the other legionnaires aside with the flick of his wrist and turns his focus on Brainy #60YearsofBrainiac5
Suddenly Stargrave reveals to Brainy he can not only read his thoughts but knows his real name. I love how the panel swings off access in the middle of the page and narrows to gocus on Querl's shocked expression. #60YearsofBrainiac5
"Lightning Lad's bolts don't seem to effect Stargrave... But why is he staring at Brainiac 5?" ~Kal El
Stargrave explains he arranged for their battle with the Time Trapper as a test he needs an ally but the team isn't interested. #60YearsofBrainiac5
Brainy does not appear in Superboy 223 (10/19/1976) but we are introduced to Stargrave and his henchmen Holdur and Quicksand as they watch a battle between the Legion of Super-Heroes and the Time Trapper #60YearsofBrainiac5
And now we hit the start of a troubled period for poor brainy with the arrival the disco king himself PULSAR STARGRAVE in Superboy 224 (11/16/1976)
#60YearsofBrainiac5
Legion of Super-Heroes 218 (4/20/1976) Tyroc is back, the legionnaires continue to come off racist by saying how not racist they are . . . oh and that pretty darn unethical clone thing comes back to haunt them... who could have seen that coming?🙋
